Critique

  • Highlights importance of COA’s
  • Limited specifics on:

– COA selection – EMA expectations of selected COAs – Measurement (psychometric) method

SLIDE 10

Relevance of other regulatory guidance

  • FDA also highlights importance of COA’s
  • More detailed specifics:

– COA selection – COA expectations – Methods

What do new methods tell us?

slide-16
SLIDE 16

“Legacy” measures have critical limitations….that can be improved / fixed

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Clinically meaningful paths to scale improvement are clear….

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Standard analysis methods underestimate changes and difference…

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Traditional methods of evaluation change, and comparing ability to detect change, are misleading

Recommendations for advancing guidance

  • Focus on conceptual clarity of variables for

measurement

  • Encourage application of clinically meaningful modern

psychometric methods in COA development, evaluation, selection, and trial data analysis

  • Within-trial instrument evaluation
  • Consistency with other regulatory bodies
